On the basis of decision-theoretical rough sets (DTRSs), the three-way decisions give new model of decision approach for deal with the problem of decision. This proposed model of decision method is based on the loss function of DTRSs. First, the concept of fractional orthotriple fuzzy β -covering (FOF β -covering) and fractional orthotriple fuzzy β -neighborhood (FOF β -neighborhood) was introduced. We combined loss feature of DTRSs with covering-based fractional orthotriple fuzzy rough sets (CFOFSs) under the fractional orthotriple fuzzy condition. Secondly, we proposed a new FOF-covering decision-theoretical rough sets model (FOFCDTRSs) and developed related properties. Then, based on the grade of positive, neutral and negative membership of fractional orthotriple fuzzy numbers (FOFNs), five methods are established for addressing the expected loss expressed in the form of FOFNs and the corresponding three-way decisions are also derived. Based on this, we presented a FOFCDTRS-based algorithm for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). Then, an example verifies the feasibility of the five methods for solving the MCDM problem. Finally, by comparing the results of the decisions of five methods with different loss functions.

The significance of emergency decision-making (EmDM) has been experienced recently due to the continuous occurrence of various emergency situations that have caused significant social and monetary misfortunes. EmDM assumes a manageable role when it is important to moderate property and live misfortunes and to reduce the negative effects on the social and natural turn of events. Genuine world EmDM issues are usually described as complex, time-consuming, lack of data, and the effect of mental practices that make it a challenging task for decision-makers. This article shows the need to manage the various types of vulnerabilities and to monitor practices to resolve these concerns. In clinical analysis, how to select an ideal drug from certain drugs with efficacy values for coronavirus disease has become a common problem these days. To address this issue, we are establishing a multi-attribute decision-making approach (MADMap) based on the EDAS method under Pythagorean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy information. In addition, an algorithm is developed to address the uncertainty in the selection of drugs in EmDM issues with regards to clinical analysis. The actual contextual analysis of the selection of the appropriate drug to treat coronavirus ailment is utilized to show the practicality of our proposed technique. Finally, with the help of a comparative analysis of the TOPSIS technique, we demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the established methodology.

The emergency response to the health care management in the hospital do not have enough systems for providing medical service to the COVID19 patients (e.g., scheduled or nonemergency). Therefore, in this paper, we developed an emergency decision support model for consideration of patients care and admission scheduling (PCAS). The complex decision support model assigns a set of patients into a number of restricted resources like rooms, time slots, and beds depending on satisfying a number of predefined constraints such as disease severity, waiting time, and disease types. This is a crucial issue with multi‐criteria decision making (MCDM). In this paper, we first begin an assessment into the admission and care to tackle this issue and collect four factors effecting the admission and care of COVID‐19 patients that form a system of criteria. While there is a lot of vague and uncertain data that can be effectively depicted for these indicators by the spherical hesitant fuzzy set, then, we implement a strong MCDM method based on list of aggregation operators to address the patients' hospital admission and care. Last of all, a numerical real‐life application about PCAS is provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approaches along with relevant discussions, the merits of proposed approaches are also analyzed by validity test. The proposed methodology has been shown to help hospitals manage the admissions and care of COVID‐19 patients in a flexible manner.

Governments, researchers, and humanitarian agencies have increasingly focused on reducing disaster impacts and enhancing the resilience of individuals, households, and communities, as the human and economic costs of natural disaster events have dramatically increased over the past century. Achieving resilience in a disaster context means the ability to survive future natural disasters with minimum loss of life and property as well as the ability to create a greater sense of place among residents, a stronger, more diverse economy, and a more economically integrated and diverse population. However, less attention has been paid to the significance of social capital in a post-disaster context and its contribution in building community resilience. It is very obvious that the contribution of social capital to post-disaster resilience in a Middle Eastern/Saudi Arabian context is virtually unknown. With a focus on the Saudi Arabian context, this research paper develops a social capital framework centered on resilience and post-disaster recovery. To conduct this study, a holistic approach to data collection is followed through questionnaire surveys, structured and non-structured interviews with citizens, and informal discussions with government and major stakeholders related to flash flood disaster management in the City of Jeddah. It is interesting to note that several religious institutions have played important roles in evacuating people and providing help for a quick recovery. In addition, government organizations are taking the recovery process seriously by providing necessary help in the flood-stricken areas. Within the scope of the given framework, the research explores and evaluates the role of social capital in post-disaster recovery efforts through a case study of the 2009 and 2011 Jeddah flash floods.
